Fatigue is a term for feeling overtired and exhausted. Experiencing fatigue occasionally when you’ve been working hard is perfectly normal, and after a night’s rest, you should recover. If you constantly feel fatigued, it could indicate an underlying health problem. Many patients visiting Legacy Health Clinic mention fatigue as one of their symptoms. Cim and her team perform a thorough exam and medical history review to determine the cause of your fatigue. You might also need blood tests to identify certain conditions.
Fatigue has numerous causes. Common ones include:
Lifestyle issues
Chronic stress is one of the leading causes of fatigue. A poor diet, lack of quality sleep, insufficient exercise, dehydration, and bad habits like smoking or excessive drinking are also frequent reasons for fatigue.
Treatment side effects
Many medications cause fatigue, and some include warnings about severe fatigue and sleepiness. Post-surgical recovery and treatments like chemotherapy typically result in fatigue.
Mental health issues
Most mental health conditions, especially mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, cause chronic fatigue. You can feel fatigued if you’re experiencing grief and other distressing emotions. Fatigue is also a symptom of more medical problems than almost any other.
Everything from the common cold and menopause to potentially life-threatening heart disease and cancer can cause fatigue. Conditions that are especially likely to cause severe fatigue include:
